Praise for Timebox
“I just have to share how much this book resonated with me. I love how Luciana gives readers “permission” to balance ‘doing’ and ‘being’. One of the most powerful takeaways from this book is the importance of learning to be kind to ourselves while still pursuing and achieving our goals. It’s a message that I think many of us need to hear. Her approach is insightful and refreshing, making this a must-read for anyone looking to find harmony between ambition and self-care.”
